Hello,

As this pain is caused due to muscle weakness which is directly getting in touch with the implant. As there will be a contraction of the muscles while you do a movement to get up from sitting position, the muscle will press over the screws. Also, since you had back to back surgery for the same issue the muscles will be weak and need attention.

I will advise you to do hot water fermentation and post which strengthening exercises for the quadriceps and hamstring. Static Quadriceps and static hamstring will help to regain muscle strength.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
